Hello! How has your week started? I started the day by going to the dentist. I have been there so many times fixing this one tooth that I really hope today was the last time for a while. A few days ago I wore these black pants for the first time. I bought them from Japan in the summer. I have been eying those pants in the shops around the world and on people for at least a year. Especially people in Asia wear those wide and cropped pants a lot. I always thought that I couldn’t wear those, because they would make me look wider and shorter. But then I thought that if the Asian women 30 centimeters shorter than me can wear those, so can I. Should or shouldn’t, I bought them anyway and now I have also started wearing them! I don’t actually care much if someone thinks that those pants don’t suit me, I think they are quite funny pants!

Those pants go super well with heels too, for example to wear at the office. I could also imagine them to a night event with heels and a party top. Let’s see how I wear them next time 🙂 Have a good Monday!

Hello! How has your day been? At least in Helsinki it is raining, I don’t know if that is the deal in the whole Finland. In the morning it was sunny, so I rushed to the backyard. That pleasure ended soon though when it got completely cloudy. By the way, our breakfast was interrupted by a water leak over the stove. I stood up on a chair to see better and I saw that the water was coming from a ventilation pipe behind a shelf, over the stove. We called a maintenance man to take a look at it, but he didn’t know how that happened. It didn’t leak for a long time, but it would be nice to know where the water actually came from!

So I have had a day off today and also tomorrow will be off. Any tips what to do during these rainy days? I feel like I have to come up with some activities because I feel like the whole summer is wasted because of these weathers… We just spoke with a colleague on the flight back from Narita, that the summer is so important for the Finnish people, because we spend so big part of the year in complete darkness. Not to mention the cold. So if there is no summer, it can be quite depressing. Am I the only one thinking like this? What have you done during this rainy summer (in Finland)?

The pictures of this post are from one of those sunny days a few weeks ago 😀 Actually I have used that Lidl dress more this summer, because I don’t like to wear it on warm and sunny days because of the long sleeves.

Hello! Yesterday I told about our plans to grill and enjoy the summer evening at the balcony. Well, that didn’t go so well. Our grill wasn’t actually working so well, so we had to warm up the food in the oven. Also, it was SO cold in outside the evening that I just couldn’t take it, even though I said that I’ll just have to wear more clothes. Well, some other night then.

The pictures of this post were taken a few days back when we went to café Kampela in Aurinkolahti to have salmon soup. In the sun it was almost warm! The salmon soup was so good and the place is lovely, I’m sure we will go there again. I think the place will be crowded when it gets warmer, because on a little bit chilly day it was already half-full. Earlier today I was out in the garden tanning a little, first time this summer. If nothing else, it’s the smell of tanning oil that brings the summer!

Hello! I thought I could write some hair stuff now. When speaking about flight attendants, the first thing that comes to many peoples’ minds is a groomed and classy look. And it is true, that a flight attendant should look presentable on every single flight. I think hair makes the biggest impact on a person’s look. A nice hair style saves the situation even if you feel like your face looks tired. With small things it is easy to make a simple hairdo look elegant and groomed. I thought I could share my three favorite styles I use for work. Actually it’s very rare that I would style my hair in any other way. All these styles take about 5 minutes!

This style is my favorite especially on the long haul flights. It stays good through a long day, it’s very comfortable and it is easy to sleep with this during the break on a long haul flight. This braid is as easy to do as the french braid, you just take the part of the hair under the braid, when you take it over the braid with the normal french braid. I think this is much more cooler than the french braid and quite often people compliment my hair when I’m wearing it like this. You should try this!

A bun with a bun shaper is a very easy way to create a very groomed and formal look. I like to make the bun a little bit more relaxed and not so finished. The bun can be made very sleek, if you first secure the hair around the bun shaper with an elastic and after that secure the rest of the hair with pins. I always secure the hair around the bun shaper right away with the pins. That way it is easier to create a more relaxed look.

Hello! How has your week been this far? It’s so crazy that tomorrow is Friday again! Where did this week go? I have been away from home the last two days, because I had that Oulu layover. Maybe that’s why this week has gone so fast. Today I had a day off and tomorrow and the day after tomorrow I’m on a standby. Let’s see where they send me!

Today again I made some vegetarian food in my test kitchen. I’m surprised how easy it is to avoid eating meat and still eat well, not only salads. Yesterday I had ordered a vegetarian food at work. When I got the meal, I looked at it and thought that it is chicken, not vegetarian. Since I didn’t have anything else, I started eating it anyway. Then my colleague mentioned, that it is indeed a vegetarian meal, it’s just this “fake meat” stuff. What is the point of making a vegetarian food that tastes like meat? It’s a small problem in this world, but still makes me wonder 😀 Have a nice weekend guys!
